Biography
Nagashige Hatakeyama was born in 1511 in Nanao in Japan's Noto Province (northern Central Japan) to the Hatakeyama clan. The Hatakeyama had an empire, which inclued parts of southern Central Japan on the shore of the Inland Sea, lands near the Date clan in northeastern Japan, and Noto Province, all isolated from each other. Nagashige made an alliance with the Ikko-Ikki warrior monk order on his borders and the Kitabatake clan, and in 1547 he declared war on the Takeda when they captured Takayama from the Ikko-Ikki. Alongside his general Kiyotoki Tsuchiya, he was slain at Nanao by Nobukado Takeda.
